Ianto finally called uncle and let Jack drove them home.

Ton was waiting and lowered the phone he was talking on to address them as they entered the house "Well?"

"Well, Jarred will be OK" Ianto said as he let Jack slide his jacket off "No one died, everyone will recover and we have the shop boarded up until tomorrow when we can assess the damage and get it fixed. In the mean time you and Mel can work from here."

"Did you hear that?" Ton spoke into the phone "I am so rattled Angel Love. It was so loud. I am glad Muncher was not in the pen with bubba snoozing."

Ianto left him to his conversation with his girlfriend who would no doubt need comforting for a while and went through to find the living room full of children, mattresses and blankets strewn everywhere, some asleep, some playing and one sitting there mutely sucking his thumb.

"Lexi, you OK love?" Ianto settled and drew the little boy into his lap "It was loud, wasn't it?"

Lexi nodded, leaning against him. Ren came over and placed a hand on Ianto's' knee as he settled next to him "Where's my Dada and Papa?"

"Helping out at the hospital" Ianto crooned "Fen is going to fly them back before bedtime, OK?"

"Papa got hurt, what do I do?" Ren asked with concern.

"Well … you are almost sixteen. I think it would be a good idea if you and Izzy make sure the clothes and things you all need are at the chalets ready for Jack to pick you up to come home to our place until the house can be fixed" Ianto said as he considered "Where is your sister?"

Izzy was fourteen and looking every part the young lady. Her Cousin Babs made sure she was a demure and proper lady too … when she was around to make sure those plunging chest lines were not so … in the eye.

Ianto watched the youth go get his sister to pack some things, her face lighting up as she learnt they would stay at the Harkness-Jones complex. Their minds at ease, they both totally forgot their Papa was hurt, running to get home clothes sorted. Typical teenagers.

"They've come so far" Jack said as he looked in the direction Ianto was smiling "I understand form Carl there is talk of another?"

"With both of them teens now, Jarred is clucky. Carl always wanted another one or two" Ianto agree, turning to face his husband "I think I am a bad influence with regard to children."

Jack laughed and pulled him into a kiss.

He is his favourite drug.
